Super stuff from Kerry,its what the cup should always be about,the small club punching above its weight.

They’re in the Prague the Thursday before the semi finals
That's very cheap versus what PD fans are used to paying.
Cracker of a game that.
I think pats and rovers will be drawn together.
Kerry are going to Tallaght, while Cork will host Pats.
small chance of getting through with the home draw v pats but im probably fooling myself.
wonder what crowd a pats rovers final would draw?
Would’ve liked Pats to draw rovers at home in the semi, would be the best opportunity to beat them with them playing in Prague 3 days earlier. Wouldn’t fancy Pats or Cork to beat them in the Aviva sadly

Well if we are in the final we will be in athens on the Thursday before the sunday final so id say thats a big enough handicap.
Maybe the fai will push the final back a week to help to create the right atmosphere for success
Yerra, we'll send a squad up to ye at any rate!
No chance of that
They made Dundalk play in 2016 and they only arrived back from Russia in the early hours of the Saturday morning
I think city have a great chance
More than a Rover or Pats v Cork final! If Cork are relegated and they will be there wont be many that will venture out of Cork.
Like most finals, if it is marketed well, priced reasonably, Pats and Bohs had 44k coupld of years ago so you'd hope for similar unless the novelty of cups wins has won off for Pats, Rovers have 1 in 28 years or so so the cup specialists might not be that bothered.
A Kerry v Cork final would be interesting!
I'd say there's a pretty reasonable chance of neither making the final unfortunately.
The FAI got the draw they wanted.
Id fancy cork to give Pat's a game in Turner's Cross,but think Pat's experience might tell in the end, possibly another extra time win.
Rovers and Kerry have never met so it's hard to look beyond the league /division places and think that anything other than a Rovers win would be a major shock.
The fact that the semi final and final fall 3 days after tough away ECL games will have a bearing on team selection for Rovers,but ultimately it looks like Rovers -Pats final.
If so I'd hope for a crowd of +35k.
Shamrocks v Cork, now that would generate a record crowd!
Isn't that the annual GAA football fixture for the two teams that only really challenge for the Munster football championship!
Pat's v Rovers should sell out. I wish ticketmaster would open more blocks, same scutter every year,.
